Photographer Richard Ross captured images of over 1,000 juvenile inmates housed in over 200 detention centers and correctional facilities throughout the U.S. and Canada. According to his website, the "Juvenile in Justice" project explores the "treatment of American juveniles housed by law in facilities that treat, confine, punish, assist and, occasionally, harm them." The hope is that by seeing these images, people will have a better understanding of the conditions that exist," he writes on his website.
Richard Ross is a photographer, researcher and professor of art based in Santa Barbara, California. He has been the recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Annie E. Casey and MacArthur Foundations. Ross was awarded both Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellowships. His most recent work, the -- in Justice series, turns a lens on the placement and treatment of American juveniles housed by law facilities that treat, confine, punish, assist, and, occasionally, harm them. Two books and taveling exhibitions of the work continue to see great success while Ross collaborates with juvenile justice stakeholders, using the images as a catalyst for change.
Ross' work has been exhibited at the Tate Modern, London; National Building Museum, Washington D.C.; Aperture Gallery, New York; ACME Gallery, Los Angeles; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco. He was the principal photographer for the Getty Conservation Institute and the Getty Museum on many of their architectural projects. He has photographed extensively for the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, SF Examiner, Vogue, COLORS, TIME, Newsweek, Le Monde and many more. A dozen books of his work have been published including Girls in Justice 2015, Juvenile in Justice 2012, Architecture of Authority (Aperture 2007), Waiting for the End of the World (Princeton Architectural Press 2005), Gathering Light (University of New Mexico 2001) and Museology (Aperture 1998). Ross is a Distinguished Professor of Art at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he has taught since 1977.

Women of a New Tribe is a photographic study of the physical and spiritual beauty of the black American women we see around us every day.
Photographed by Jerry Taliaferro, the women portrayed represent the black woman in many of her physical and social manifestations. The subjects are from all walks of life and include the young and the old, mothers and daughters, artists and professionals. What is unique about Women of a New Tribe is its treatment of the subjects. The women were meticulously photographed in a style reminiscence of the photography of 1930's and 1940's Hollywood. The purpose for doing this is twofold: First, to use the drama produced by the powerful lighting to grab and hold the attention of the viewer. Second, to use the starkness of black and white images to present the viewer an unencumbered look at the souls of this incredibly diverse group of women. Rarely have black women been portrayed in such a soul-touching way. This project has been called "powerful" and "uplifting".
Jerry Taliaferro was born in Brownsville, Tennessee. After graduating high school in May 1972, he joined the Army. His real interest in photography began in 1981 when he was posted to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, for Special Forces training. While serving in Germany, his fascination with photography continued to grow and, in 1985, he was published for the first time when a Munich magazine purchased the rights to one of his images.

On loan from the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., The Creative Mind is a traveling exhibit that celebrates the contributions of African Americans to medicine, mathematics, engineering, and all branches of science. It features the careers and achievements of some of today’s outstanding black scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and medical professionals and highlights the work of notable figures from the past. A “Did You Know?” section brings in additional information about each field, pointing to future career possibilities for creative minds of the next generation.
The exhibit consists of seven colorful, flexible panels—an introduction and separate panels devoted to medicine, mathematics, engineering, biological sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences. The Creative Mind made its debut in 2012 at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and at the Koshland Science Museum of the National Academy of Sciences, in Washington, D.C. Since then, it has been exhibited at the Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems Information Center, Linthicum Heights, MD; the Madison Science Museum, Madison, WI; the Louisville Free Public Library, Louisville, KY; the Zion-Benton Public Library, Zion, IL; the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Medicine; the Mid-America Science Museum, Hot Springs, AR; the Burlington County Library, Westampton, NJ; the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; the Northern Virginia Community College Libraries, Woodbridge, VA; the Family Heritage House Museum, Bradenton, FL; the Summerton Community Center, Summerton, S.C.; Collin College, Frisco, TX; Walsh University, North Canton, OH; and Western New Mexico University, Silver City, NM.
